Why Experience Matters

Not all solicitors handle accident at work claims, and fewer still specialise in them. Work-related injuries can involve complex areas of law, from employer liability to health and safety regulations.

Choosing a solicitor with experience in this area means they’ll understand how to build a strong case, gather the right evidence, and negotiate the maximum compensation you’re entitled to.

Ask about their success rate and whether they’ve handled cases similar to yours.

No Win, No Fee: Know Your Options

A major benefit of using specialist solicitors is the option to pursue your claim on a no win, no fee basis. This means you won’t pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful, reducing the financial risk.

Make sure the terms are clearly explained and ask about any deductions from your compensation if you win. Transparent solicitors will always outline their fees from the start.

Check for Accreditations and Reviews

Reputable accident at work claim solicitors will often hold accreditations from recognised legal bodies such as the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) or The Law Society.

These credentials show that the solicitor meets strict standards of expertise and ethics. It’s also worth checking independent reviews and testimonials to see what previous clients say about their experience.

Client Care and Clear Communication

A good solicitor should be easy to talk to, quick to respond, and willing to explain things clearly. Avoid firms that use legal jargon or pass you from one person to another.

You deserve consistent, personal support throughout your claim. Ask whether you’ll be dealing with a named solicitor and how often you’ll receive updates.

Local Knowledge Can Help

While many firms operate nationally, choosing a local solicitor can offer added benefits. They may have a better understanding of local employers, workplaces, and medical professionals.

You may also prefer the option of a face-to-face meeting, especially for sensitive matters or if you’re unsure about the process.

Ask the Right Questions

Before making your decision, don’t be afraid to ask direct questions, such as:

• How many accident at work claims have you handled?
• Have you dealt with claims involving my type of injury?
• Will I be kept informed throughout my case?
• What are the possible outcomes?

The answers should give you a good feel for the solicitor’s expertise and approach.

Watch Out for Red Flags

Unfortunately, not all firms have your best interests at heart. Be wary of:

• High-pressure tactics to sign agreements quickly
• Vague or confusing information about costs
• Poor communication or long delays in responding

A good solicitor will always take the time to answer your questions clearly and give you space to make your decision.
